Decorations

The floral displays were created by London-based floral designer Shane Connolly. They featured seasonal growing and cut British flowers and trees, including six English Field Maple and two Hornbeam.

Bell Ringing

The Abbey's ten bells were rung prior to the wedding for up to half an hour. After the service a full peal of 5,000 changes were rung taking in excess of three hours. Full peals are rung on the Abbey's bells only for significant occasions. The ringers do this without a break and need to concentrate throughout.
